3rd 11 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple wins but he's won just once on turf in nearly two years and is suited by good or slower ground; two fair efforts of late (no help from the draw at Chester recently) but there may be other days. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His turf wins (5f to 6.5f) have come on good or slower; well held in three runs this spring but he offered more at Doncaster one week ago, when third despite blowing the start; mark fine and he needs respecting on this first visit to Chester on his 70th start. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His turf wins have come on good or slower including heavy ground; well held in three runs this spring but he won three times on AW during the winter and was successful in this race last year; now 2lb lower than for his last win and has claims if he can rediscover his spark. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has a poor strike-rate over the last three years and has proved inconsistent since last success (off 12lb higher); chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
9/1 |
|
5th 10 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won off 10lb higher at York (5f, good) last June but disappointing since and has form figures of 690 this season; has a lot to prove and needs a major revival but stable is in good form and market strength would be interesting. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW but he has won on fast turf; good fourth at Ripon in April but he could only manage a midfield finish at Thirsk in May; 2lb lower than when short-headed by Brazen Bolt in this race 12 months ago but he arrived in top form then. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
25-1 winner of a division of this race 12 months ago; arrives in form following a success at Southwell and a creditable fourth of eight at Ripon; should be in the thick of things again. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Placed three times on AW over the winter before resuming winning ways over 5f at Southwell 18 days ago; hasn't been successful above a mark of 76 so a career best will be needed if he's to follow up. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form. |
4/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list. |
10/1 |
|
13 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question. |

Placed a few times this season, including when favourite at Catterick last time; back up in grade but he's 3lb below last winning mark and seems to have a fighting chance. |

C&D winner off 1lb higher last September; two good runs when third at Ripon in April (5f, good) and at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) last month but he hasn't done as well since. |

Back to winning ways with his Class 5 win at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in May; respectable efforts twice since but he would be more appealing on slower ground. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Left disappointing seasonal debut behind when scoring at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last month; not discredited in big field at Thirsk soon afterwards and has the inside draw here but others look better handicapped. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Third at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and now 2lb lower; merely seventh on both runs since and, while she raced away from the main action for the first part of the race at Doncaster (5f, good) last time, others arrive with more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
She has struggled in two of her three runs for Karl Burke but they were in Listed company and she ran well in a 6f handicap at Ascot in between; she has a bit more to prove over this trip though. |
12/1 |

4 (6) |
23rd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
3l second to Nighteyes in Listed race at Naas (6f, yielding) last July and creditable third in Ascot handicap (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago on second stable start; has raced only eight times and it's possible she has more to offer for her top northern trainer, but such improvement is needed. |

Absent since running respectably when favourite for AW contest in January; on a two-year losing spell but is attractively treated off his lower mark back on turf; further market support should be noted. |

7 (8) |
31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |

On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

Veteran; all 12 wins have been over 5f and is ideally suited by plenty of give in the ground; hasn't been out since Doncaster win in March (5f, good to soft); has plenty in his favour and should go well again. |

C&D winner; on the same mark as for his Nottingham win in May; quiet more recently but this should be run to suit and his ability isn't in doubt. |
7/1 |
|
5 (3) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins this year, latest at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May off 2lb lower than today; among the backmarkers on his last three outings, trying cheekpieces on first occasion and a hood on latest (joining the usual tongue-tie); does without either tonight but he's too inconsistent for comfort. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 4 |

Two wins this year, the latest from 2lb lower at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May; should get a good pace to aim at, but he needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser performances; hood now added. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner of much higher marks in the summer of 2022 including this race; 1-23 since, though, and tardy starts have become a habit (blindfold off late the last twice); 5lb below last winning mark so certainly well handicapped, but risky. |

11th 13 (12) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

This mark in range but he hasn't found his best form so far this year (had blindfold issues behind Castan latest); this looks a tough race in which to bounce back. |

6/1 |

4th 2 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |

9st 11lb |
Six wins, all at 5f, include five on turf, most recently when making a winning reappearance at Nottingham (good) in April; slight concern that his sole run here was his worst but he's won off this mark and looks a player. |

Had an inconsistent spell on AW towards the end of 2025; has a better strike-rate on turf and recorded last year's August double off slightly higher marks; possibilities returned to this sphere on reappearance. |
